Today we had the first real bout of dreary weather. Not surprisingly, today was utterly horrifying. The babies woke each other up out of naps, resulting in a 25 minute catnap for Elise and a short morning nap for Benedict (he still needs two naps a day, at least). Both kids became overtired and [...]
I’ve been spending this past week thinking and praying. I’ve been being extra tough on myself regarding Internet usage. It’s easy to sit down to check your email and get totally sucked in. Or as a way to pass the time. This week, I’ve decided to only go online during certain times: when the [...]
1. Try and be more cheerful. Sometimes I get so focused in on what’s going on RIGHT THIS SECOND and sometimes it’s not all good. But in the (eternal) scheme of things, it’s really not that big of a deal. It’s important to deal with life as it comes but I don’t think I [...]
A few months ago, I wrote about wanting to grow in the virtues of Our Lady. I finally have time to be able to devote myself to reflection and writing, and I think that now is an appropriate time for my soul to undertake such a process. If you have been interested in the [...]
I’ve been trying to clean out my email account, after I realized I have mail dating back to 2004 in there. Most of it can go, since there’s no need to have emails that old in my account. I had some time to do so this morning and it was interesting to watch old [...]
1. Yesterday, I took both kids on my own to two stores. And it wasn’t as bad as I was anticipating it to be. Granted, it took over 90 minutes; but hey, we got things accomplished.
2. I made a wrap for Benedict, since the Ergo + insert is a little bit [...]
I’m almost ready to pull the plug on my Facebook profile for the sake of simplicity and helping me to be less narcissistic and hopefully better my relationship with God. I went through and deleted friends so that I could message family easier. It’s been really amusing watching various reactions come in from my [...]
I’ve been reflecting and thinking about things as of late – mainly, THE INTERNETS. Like most people, I have this blog, my saving money blog, Facebook, and some side projects. I’ve been praying a lot about my use of THE INTERNETS, this blog in particular. I enjoy writing it (even if I can’t find [...]
1. Yesterday was my 4th Catholicversary. I was received into the Church April 15, 2006. I thank God for the gift of my Conversion – I have never had a deeper relationship with Our Lord than Him truly present in the Eucharist, and so much grace God has given me in these last four [...]
I’ve been trying to figure out what to write for … a while now. It seems like I’m in some weird fog of writer’s block, which happens quite regularly around these parts. I can’t for the life of me figure out why it comes so often. Eh.
We’re all doing quite well around these [...]
